Hi there, new member just joined from the UK. I’ve done a search in the forum and it didn’t seem to bring much up so thought I’d ask.
What activities can be done with social groups around Rememberance and the 100th anniversary next week. Trying to think of joyful things to do as well as thoughtful things.
Hi, Claire The Remembrance celebration this year is very special, the ceremony should include: Poems - There is something very touching to see an elderly person reading a poem, either alone or together with a son or a daughter. Blessings and the reading of scriptures - From the Bible or other religious denomination books. Wearing a Poppy - If possible made by the residents Craft - Have a session prior to the date to build a colorful poster and/or a garland of flowers for your facility Singalong - When Johnny Came Marching Home, Imagine, Blowin’ in the Wind.
This site is an absolute God Send. I cannot thank you enough for the incredible wealth of information you provide. You have saved me hours a week and literally changed my life, I look forward to exploring all you have to offer and think this site is worth every cent, massive thank you to the founders, you can see where your heart is - everything is of an excellent standard and I love the opportunity you have provided for us all to connect and share ideas. Simply Amazing.
